Why does Firefox 4 and 5 not ask anymore, it should safe all open tabs before quitting the program as it did in the 3.x versions?

Is there a way to make Firefox 5 ask when quitting the program weather it should safe all open tabs for the next time. In versions 3.x it always asked and reopened the same tabs on next program start. I could not find the preference to get this very useful feature back or did the programmers take it out of the new versions?

See item #31 (#tabslost) in the following -- you can turn option on at end and then tabs will be restored whether you do or don't or don't restore tabs at end you still have the same chance through the History menu. to restore your previous session and then to restore previous windows


You can make Firefox 4.0.1 and Firefox 5.0 look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)
